NOACK and TRINKS to the symptoms recorded by HARNEMANN, and we shall do so in all the subsequent volumes of the Chronic Diseases, and the Materia Medica Pura. There is nothing new in the symptoms furnished by NOACK and TRINKS; they are the same as HAHNEMANN'S; but the nosological portion of their work is interspersed with many valuable remarks and statements derived from experience, which are highly interesting to the practitioner, and a knowledge of which is absolutely necessary to the successful treatment of many forms of disease.

A few remarks relative to the best mode of exhibiting drugs in chronic maladies. SINCE I last addressed the public on the subject of Homoeopathy, I have had an opportunity of improving my experience relative to the best mode of administering remedial agents. I here lay before my readers my views on this subject. There is such a vast difference among patients as regards irritability, age, mental and physical constitution, vital energies, and especially the nature and intensity of disease, (some patients being affected with a naturally simple and recent, others with a naturally simple but old disease, some with complicated symptoms, others again, and this form is the worst of all, exhibiting a monstrous combination of medicinal and natural symptoms of disease) that a corresponding difference in the treatment of disease and the exhibition of doses becomes a natural and necessary consequence. We know that a small globule of the thirtieth potency laid dry upon the tongue, or smelling of a few globules of that same potency is the weakest dose which can be administered and that its action is proportionately short, and yet, even this small dose is sufficient to produce curative effects, and even to stimulate highly irritable patients. As regards the difference in the treatment of disease, I can do nothing more than merely allude to it here. For the iiodifications which the treatment of every special case 1 n PREFACE. requires, I have to rely upon the industry and the correct observation of the able and skilful practitioner; they cannot be exhibited in a sort of tabular arrangement for the benefit of the ignorant and the careless. I know from experience, and my followers know likewise that the best and most efficient mode of exhibiting remedial agents in important cases, acute as well as chronic, especially the latter, is to dissolve the globule or the globules in from seven to twenty table-spoonfuls of water, and to give in acute diseases a table-spoonful of this solution every six, four, two hours, or even every hour and half-hour, according as the danger is more or less imminent; or to administer only a tea-spoonful, if the patients should be very weak or young. In inveterate chronic diseases, I have been in the habit of giving a table-spoonful of such a solution every day, sometimes every two days. Inasmuch as water, even distilled water, gets soon spoiled and the power of the drug is correspondingly weakened or even destroyed, I add some spirits of wine, or in case this should affect the patient, I mix the solution with a few pieces of hard charcoal. By this latter means I attain my object, except that by shaking the solution which has to be done every time the dose is to be administered, the liquid gradually assumes a blackish tinge. Before proceeding any farther, I wish to observe that our vital forces are not affected with the same benefit by two or more successive doses of the same remedy. By administering a second dose of the same remedy and potency directly after the first, the good effects of the latter are not only injured, but medicinal symptoms are evoked in the organism which complicate, impede, or even nullify the treatment. Hence tlie numerous contradictions of homceopathic physicians, relative to the repetition of doses. By shaking the solution before the dose is administered, PREEACE. 1ii the dynamic power of the remedy is modified and a new relation is established between the vital forces and the remedy which may in this way be given a great number of times in succession, -exen at short intervals, for the benefit of the patient. To modify the dynamic power of the drug, it is sufficient to shake the flask containing the solution, five or six times. In case the first dose should act too powerfully, it is proper to wait a few days before exhibiting the second. The solution may be continued in this way as long as the remedy produces good effects. When the whole of it has been used, then a new solution may be similarly prepared, using however the precaution of taking a lower potency, for instance the twenty-fourth, if the thirtieth had been used first. This second solution may be continued as long as the improvement lasts. Should however new or medicinal symptoms appear, then it is time to select a new remedy. Or, if the original symptoms of the disease become aggravated even by the most moderate use of the drug, it becomes necessary to delay the exhibition of a new dose for one or two weeks, until a beneficial reaction has set in.* If the physician should deem it advisable to make a new solution of the former potency, in that case as many shakes must be imparted to this new solution as had been * In the treatment of acute diseases the homccopathic physician pursues a similar method. One or Iwo globules of the carefully selected remedy may be dissolved in seven, ten, or fifteen table spoonfuls of water, and a table spoonful or, if the patient be very weak or small, a tea.spoonful may be administered every two, three, four, or six hours, according to circumstances and after previous shaking. The medicine may be thus continued until the symptoms bccome aggravated, when it is necessary to delay the exhibition of the drug until a favourable reaction has set in. In cholera the intervals are much shorter. Children may take the medicine out of their tumblers or bowls; they despise an insipid liquid given in tea or table-spoons. The solution may be sweetened with some sugar. -1V PREFACE. imparted to all the doses of the previous solution taken together, adding five or six shakes for the first dose of the new solution, and imparting five or six additional shakes to every new dose. For instance, if ten doses of the first solution had been given, the last dose would have received fifty shakes, counting five shakes to a dose, or sixty when counting six shakes to a dose. Hence the first dose of the new solution must receive either fifty or sixty shakes lo make it even with the last dose of the former solution, and five or six additional shakes to raise its dynamic power one degree higher than that of the previous dose. In this way the homceopathic physician is sure to derive from a well-chosen drug all the benefit that may be expected from a solution. The effect of the remedy may be greatly increased by applying it not only to the nerves in the mouth and the cesophagus, but by rubbing with it those parts of the body which are the most free from pain, for instance, the arms, thighs, legs, provided the skin is healthy, and the parts are otherwise unaffected by pain, spasms, etc. The parts may be alternately rubbed one after the other. By using the remedy externally, the cure progresses much more rapidly than it would by the mere internal administration of the drug. This mode of applying the remedy externally, which I have tried in many instances with wonderful success, explains the miraculous cures of curvatures of the spine or limbs which mineral-baths have effected in some instances with great rapidity. The patients had a healthy skin, and the medicinal ingredients of the mineral baths were homoeopathic to the disease.* * On the contrary, these mineral waters have inflicted the greatest injury upon patients affected with ulcers and cutaneous eruptions. These eruptions disappearing from the skin, they settled upon a more internal and more important organ of the animal economy and brought on obscuration of the crystalline lens, paralysis of the optic nerve, hard hearing, or deaf PREFACE. V The part which is to be rubbed must be free from cutaneous affections. As I remarked above it is useful to rub one part in alternation with another, on those days when the patient does not use the remedy internally. The rubbing may be done with the hand and may be continued until the liquid, a small quantity of which only ought to be used, has all been rubbed in. Before using the liquid for purposes of friction, the flask has likewise to be shaken five or six times. However convenient and beneficial this method of administering drugs may be, and really is, in the treatment of inveterate chronic diseases, nevertheless I was not satisfied with using in the warmer season the quantity of brandy or charcoal which was required to protect the water from the effects of the heat. The following method has latterly been adopted by me as a substitute for the one which has been described in the previous paragraphs. I mix five table-spoonfuls of pure water with five table-spoonfuls of good brandy, and keep this mixture in a well corked bottle. Of this mixture I drop two hundred, three hundred, or even four hundred drops, according as the solution is to be more or less strong, into the vial containing the powder or the globules which are to be used in the case before us. The vial ought to be large enough to be only half filled with the liquid and ought to be shaken until the powder or the globules are dissolved. Afterwards you pour a table-spoonful of water into a cup and mix this with one, two, or three drops of the contents of the vial, regulating the number of the drops by the susceptibility of the patient. If the patient be very irritable, then half a table-spoonful may be used internally, reserving the other half for external application. ness, innumerable physical tortures and moral or mental affections, spasmodic asthma, apoplexy, or some other dangerous and insupportable affcc. tion. It is on this account that the homceopathic remedy should nevor be brought in contact with sore places on the Ikin. vi PREFACE. It ought to be remembered that whenever the medicine is to be used either internally or externally, the vial ought to be shaken five or six times, and the liquid in the cup ought to be well stirred about. In the place of the cup a vial may be used, into which the table-spoonful of water with tle drops may be poured; the mixture is then shaken and taken either half or whole. It is frequently convenient in the treatment of chronic maladies to take the medicine and to perform the friction in the evening, because there is less danger of the medicine being disturbed by external influences than if it were taken in the morning. Formerly wlen I was in the habit of giving a whole drop of the attenuation mixed with a little water, 1 found that ten strokes developed the medicinal power of a drug to an excessive degree, and I therefore substituted two strokes in the place of ten. But ever since I have practised the method of dividing the original dose by mixing it wilit a quantity of prepared water which will remain incorrupt for fifteen, twenty, thirty, and more days, I have found that ten strokes are not ioo many, and that it becomes therefore my duty to recant the doctrine which I have promulgated on this he il, and which may be found recorded p. 1S6; in the first part of this work. In cases where great irritability and extreme weakness went hand in hand, and where smelling had to be resorted to, I employed for that purpose several vials containing globules of a different potency, the patient smelling first of the highest potency once or twice, and every succeeding day of a lower potency eitler with both nostrils or only with one, according as I desired to produce a stronger or weaker impression. ANTI-PSORIC REMEDIES. CARBO ANIMALIS. To prepare this agent, you place a piece of thick oxleather between red hot coal and cause it to burn until the last little flame has become extinguished; afterwards this red-hot leather is suddenly cooled between two flat stones; otherwise it would continue to glimmer in the open air and the greatest part of the carbo would become destroyed. Although there is a great similarity between the symptoms of animal and vegetable Carbo, yet the former possesses such a vast number of original and perfectly characteristic symptoms that I have deemed it proper and useful to subjoin them here. Animal carbo is exhibited in the thirtieth potency, one or two globules being sufficient at a dose. Camiphora has been used as an antidote, and relieves the painful effects which animal Carbo produces in highly irritable persons. When this remedy was indicated, the following symptoms have been most readily relieved: frightfulness; vertigo in the morning; pressure in the whole of the brain; pressure on the head, after a meal; eruptions on the head; humming in the ears; ischarge from the ears; erysipelas in the face; stitches iii the cheek-bones, the lower jaw and teeth; drawing pain in the gums; bleeding of the gums; pustules on the gums; dryness of the palate and tongue; bitter taste in the mouth; suppressed eructations attended with pain; soutr eructations; hiccough after a meal; a fainting sort of qiualhnishness; nausea at night; weakness of digestion in the stomach, the patient being incommoded almost by every thing he takes; pressure in the stomach as from a load; sudden clhiching and griping in the stomach; pressure and cntting in the region of the liver; rumbling in the abdomen; incarceration of flatus; frequent stool by day; stitches in the anus-; fetid smell of the urine; leucorrhsa; burning and acrid CARBO ANIMALIS. leucorrhcea; obstruction of the nose; dry coryza; painful induration of a gland in the chest; burning in the back; induration of some of the cervical glands, accompanied by pain and stitches; herpes under the axilla; arthritic stiffness of the joints of the fingers; pain in the hips, occasioning limping; drawing and stitches in the legs; sensitiveness to open air; straining a part easily by lifting; chilblains; sweat when walking in the open air; exhausting sweats, especially on the thighs; morning sweats. This drug has been proved by Drs. S. Hahnemann; Adams, in Russia; Wahle, Hartlaub and Trinks. According to Noack and Trinks this remedy may be used in the following affections:Dr. WVurm maintains that Carbo, both the animal and vegetable charcoal, is the best remedy to improve the condition of the blood. Carbo animalis corresponds to the period when ichor is formed. It is especially adapted to scrofulous and venous constitutions, hypertrophy of both internal and external organs, glandular swellings threatening to become scirrhous, attended with lancinating or cutting pain; polypi? -Sensitiveness to the open air.-Straining a part easily by lifting.-Indurations of the parotid gland, the cervical glands, the axillary glands, and especially of the mammae; scrofulous swellings; the scrofulous and venereal bubo??Hardening of the skin, (Leon Simon.)-Crusts upon the head.- Copper-coloured eruption in the face and upon the nose.-Erysipelas of the face.-Herpes under the axilla.-Abdominal typhus, in the stage of the formation of ulcers.-Exhausting sweats, especially on the thighs.-Morning-sweats.-Nostalgia?--Frightfulness.-Vertigo in the morning.-Pressure in the whole of the brain; pressure on the head after a meal.--Discharge from ih ears.-iHumming in the ears.

According to Noack and Triinks, charcoal prepared from veal, beef, or mutton, is preferable to charcoal prepared according to Hahnemann's directions. MORAL SYMPTOMS.- Extremely melancholy mood, with a feeling as of being abandoned. Early in the morning he feels as if he were abandoned; he is home-sick. Home-sickness. Great disposition to feel sad. Lowspirited and sad; she feels so lonely and sad that she would like to weep, (3. d.) She is sad and taciturn, and wants to be alone; she avoids every conversation (the first 1* 10 CARBO ANIMALIS. 4 d. and a. 8 d.)

Any kind of good charcoal may be used as a remedial agent, when duly prepared according to the rules which I have laid down in the first volume. In my trials I have partly used charcoal from birch, partly from red beach. Carbo veg. has been considered non-medicinal and powerless by physicians. The charcoal from linden-wood has sometimes been employed as an ingredient in the powders against epilepsy, upon mere empirical grounds, without any proof for the efficacy of that substance. It is only lately, when the chemical properties of the vegetable charcoal, especially the power which it possesses to remove the bad smell from putrid and decayed substances, and to protect liquids from that smell, had been discovered by Lowitz at Petersburg, that physicians have employed charcoal externally, for the purpose of removing effects, (iatro-chemicallv.) They used it as a mouth-wash when the mouth smelled badly, or they applied it to old, fetid 2* 84 CARBO VEGETABILIS. ulcers, and the smell disappeared almost instantaneously. When taken internally, in doses of 8 or 12 grains, charcoal removed the fetid odor of the faces in the fall-dysentery. This use of the vegetable charcoal was merely chemical, not dynamic, and penetrating into the inmost substance of the vital forces. The bad smell of the mouth or ulcer, and of the faces in dysentery returned in a few hours. When administered in the form of a crude powder, charcoal can only act chemically. A pretty large quantity of crude charcoal may be swallowed without causing the slightest change in the functions of the organism. There are many remedial agents wlich, in their crude form, appear non medicinal and powerless. Their medicinal virtues are latent and can only be properly elicited by triturating the medicinal substance together, with a nonmedicinal vehicle, such as sugar of milk, thus mixing one with the other, and afterwards dissolving the powder in alcohol and preparing the dilutions by means of succussion, as has been taught in the first volume. Carbo veg. may be used from the decilliontli down to the millionth potency, 1, 2, or 3 globules at a dose. Arsenic, camphora and coffea cruda are used as antidotes of Carbo; the spirits of nitre appear to be more efficient. Carbo veg. has been found curative in the following affections:Anguish; irritability; frightfulness; fear of ghosts at night; peevishness; headache brought on by an echauffement; heaviness of the head; congestion of blood to the head; headache with nausea; liability of the head to cold; pain in the eyes from over-exerting them; burning in the eyes; heat AND PRESSURE IN THE EYES; burning and pressure in the corners of the eyes; nightly agglutination of the eyes; humming in the ears; suppuration of the internal ear, and discharge from the same; itching of the nose; continued bleeding from the nose; herpes in the face; chapped lips; bleeding of the gums; toothache brought on by taking either cold or warm substances into the mouth; contractive tooth-ache; gnawing toothache; gurgling tooth-ache; chronic looseness of the teeth; dryness or accumulation of water in the mouth; CARBO VEGETABILIS. stomacace; roughness, (scraping) in the throat; hawking up of a quantity of mucus from the throat; bitter taste in the mouth; saltish taste in the mouth; chronic aversion to meat; want of appetite; EXCESSIVE HUNGER or thirst; empty eructations; bitter eructations; eructations tasting of the fat which had been taken; regurgitation of the ingesta; sweat when taking a meal; acidity in the mouth after a meal; pressure and a feeling of desolateness and emptiness in the stomach, after a meal; morningnausea; constant nausea; water-brash, at night; STITCHES BELOW THE RIBS; painful stitches in the liver; stitches in the spleen; pain as from bruises in the hypochondria; tightness of the abdomen; inflation of the abdomen; pain over the umbilicus, when feeling it; colic, brought on by riding in a carriage; excessive emission of flatulence; thin, pale-coloured stool; evacuations of thin, light-coloured mucus; insufficient stool; constipation; itching of the anus; varices of the anus; pain of the varices of the rectum; bleeding from the rectum during every evacuation; diminished secretion of urine; frequent, anxious desire to urinate, day and night; wetting the bed; darkcoloured urine; pain as from excoriation during micturition; pressing, (bearing-down) in the testicles; too frequent pollutions; excessive abundance of voluptuous thoughts.

The excessive effects of Carbo are soon alleviated by repeatedly smelling of Camphor, and still more certainly, by smelling of sweet Spirits of Nitre. This drug has been proved by myself and by Drs. Adams, Gersdorff and Caspari. According to Noack and Trinks, Carbo veg. especially corresponds to venous-heemorrhoidal, gastric, bilious or scrofulous constitutions, and to the melancholy, choleric temperament. It is especially adapted to cachectic individuals, whose vital powers have become weakened. It is suitable for colliquative conditions, a predominant action of the venous system, a diminished tone of the muscular fibre, increased irritability of the sentient nerves, in cases of hypercesthesis, especially when this condition originates in a morbid action of the vegetative abdominal organs; hence in abdominal plethora, hysteria and hypochondria. When the action of the arterial system has been entirely overpowered and the venous congestion is indicated by a blue tinge of the skin over the whole body, attended with fearful anguish about the heart, and an icy coldness of the surface, then Carbo veg. is a proper remedy. It deserves especial consideration in morbid conditions where anguish, irritability, frightfulness, nightly fear of ghosts, peevishness and wrathfulness are prominent symp CARBO VEGETABILIS. 37 toms.

Marble owes its indissolubility in water and its mild properties to an acid of the lowest order with which it is combined. When marble is made red hot, this gas escapes, and the marble, besides the latent caloric, unites with itself another substance, of which Chemistry has no knowledge, and which gives the lime, obtained from the marble, its caustic property, as well as its dissolubility in water. This substance, which is no acid itself, may be separated from the lime by distillation, by adding a liquid (fire-proof) acid having greater affinity for the earth than is possessed by that substance. It is thus obtained in the shape of a hydrated caustic, (hydras caustici?) Take a piece of recently burnt lime, weighing about 2 pounds, immerse it for a minute into a vessel full of distilled water, and then lay it into a dry cup, where it soon becomes pulverised, giving out much heat and a peculiar odour, called the vapour of lime. Of this fine powder you take 2 ounces, place it in the mortar which had been previously wanned, and then mix it with a solution of two ounces of the bisulphate of potash in two ounces of boiling hot water, the potash, before being dissolved, having been exposed to a red-heat, melted, cooled again, and then CAtJSTICUM. pulverised. This thickish preparation is inserted into a retort, to the open end of which the receiver which ought to be dipped in water to half its height, is hermetically fastened. The liquid is distilled over by gradually approaching a coal-fire to the retort, and until the preparation is perfectly dry. The liquid in the receiver is about one ounce and a half, as clear as water,' and containing the Causticum in a concentrated form, which smells like the lye obtained from potash, and has an astringent and burning taste on the back part of the tongue. Its freezing-point is below that of water; it promotes the putrefaction of animal substances which are placed into it; with the salts of baryta it gives out no trace of sulphuric acid, nor any trace of lime-earth with the oxalate of ammonium. One, or at most, two globules of th'e 30th potency are given at a dose, which often acts for upwards of 50 days. The Causticum which is mentioned in the second volume of the Materia Medica Pura is less perfect than this one; its symptoms are likewise less numerous, for this reason, that as soon as I became aware of the anti-psoric virtues of this powerful drug, I had it proved over again, in order to complete the list of its pathogenetic effects, and make its employment as a remedial agent much more certain and beneficial than it had been at a time when an imperfect knowledge of its pathogenetic symptoms frequently placed the practitioner in the necessity of using it to the detriment of the patient. Causticum, if indicated, may be advantageously repeated after an intermediate remedy, and of a lower potency..

From the work of Noack and Trinks: According to Professor Martin Colocynthis seems to promote the secretion of mucus considerably but not permanently. It acts similarly to spirituous substances. Its primary effects upon the organism are so powerful that the disturbances which it produces in it, are succeeded by secondary symptoms of loi g duration. Colocynthis is especially suitable to sthenic, dry, bilious, atrabilious, venoso hcemorrhoidal constitutions and choleric-melancholy temperaments; it is likewise adapted to lax and scrofulous constitutions; to wrathful, vehement individuals, women suffering with profuse menses, and such as lead a sedentary life; it deserves especial consideration in bilious conditions.-Acute, sthenic rheumatism.-Arthritic conditions.-Paralysis.

The apparently contradictory statements of honest observers based upon their respective experience, some of which had a tendency to gladden, others to sadden the heart, have been recently reconciled by Homceopathy: It has shown that it is impossible to obtain beneficial effects from the use of heroic remedies by employing large and repeated doses of a comparatively unknown and powerful drug in the treatment of equally unknown diseases, " but that the "drug ought first to be proved upon healthy persons and "ought to be exhibited in the highest potencies in diseases "to the symptoms of which its own pathogenetic effects are ' homoeopathic." Such homoeopathic doses are indeed strange contrasts of the doses which have been employed by allaeopathic physicians, 140 grains of the extract, or a wine-glass full of the recent juice, even 6 times a day. The true Homceopathist has the advantage of never using this drug to the prejudice of his patient. Those terrifying examples have prevented me from investigating the effects of that drug until lately; then it was that I discovered its anti-psoric qualities. This remedy, in order to act beneficially, has frequently to be preceded by some other drugs, and must then be used in the smallest doses. Excessive effects of the drug may be alleviated by smelling of the sweet spirits of nitre, or, in some cases, by drinking some coffee. This drug, when homoeopathically indicated, has been most advantageously used in the following affections, even in single attacks thereof: Sadness; hypochondria; anxiety; dejection of spirits and melancholy; discouragement; irritability; frightfulness; disposition to feel vexed; want of disposition to work; forgetfulness and weak 156 CONIUM MACULATUM--HEMLOCK. ness of the head; vertigo, when looking round, as if the patient would fall to one side; heaviness of the head; attacks of tearing headache which oblige one to lie down; stitches in the top of the head; chronic and stitching headache; falling off of the hair of the head; itching below the eyes and smarting, burning, when rubbing them; feeling of coldness in the eyes, when walking in the open air; stye on the eyelid; shortsightedness; longsightedness; dark points and coloured bands before the eyes; in the room the eyes are dazzled by the light of day; stitches in the ear when walking in the open air; tearing and stitches in and about the ears; drawing stitches in the ear from within outwards; induration of the swollen parotid; accumulation of cerumen; roaring in the ears; humming, buzzing, and tingling in the ears; discharge of pus from the nose; itching in the face; itching pimples in the face; herpes in the face; gnawing ulcers in the face; heat in the face; dryness and peeling off of the lips; drawing pain in sound teeth when walking in the open air; stitching pain in the teeth; involuntary swallowing; scraping in the throat; hawking up; fulness in the pit of the neck with suppressed eructations; frequent and empty eructations the whole day; loud eructations tasting of the ingesta; heartburn rising in the throat; ravenous hunger; the bread will not go down, it does not taste well; burning in the cesophagus and pharynx after a meal; nausea of pregnant women; acidity of the stomach; oppression of the stomach, when eating a meal; contractive pain in the stomach; spasm of the stomach; stitches in the left hypochondrium; fulness in the abdomen, early in the morning when waking up; oppressive contraction of the epigastrium; writhing and grinding (searching) in the umbilical region; sore feeling in the abdomen when walking on stone-pavement; incarceration of flatulence; rumbling and grunting in the abdomen; colic during emission of flatulence; constipation, with unsuccessful desire for stool; hard stool, every other day; diarrhoea; stool streaked with blood; when emitting the urine the flow suddenly stops, and continues again in a short while; pressure upon the bladder as if the urine would come out immediately; white, turbid, thick urine; cutting in the urethra, when emitting the urine; impotence CONIUM MACULATUM-HEMLOCK. 157 and want of erections; insufficient erection, which lasts only a short while; feeble embrace; weakness after an embrace; uterine spasms; uterine spasms, a grinding pain is felt above the pudendum, the abdomen becomes inflated, the chest is then affected and stitches are felt in the left side; pinching and griping in the uerus; bearing-down and stitches in the vagina; stitches in the labia pudendi; itching of the pudendum and inside; menses are too weak; bearing-down during the menses and drawing in the thigh_; leucorrhoea; smarting, excoriating leucorrhoea.

A piece of pure metallic copper is rubbed upon a hard and fine whet-stone under distilled water in a china vessel, the fine powder which falls to the bottom is then dried, and like all other metallic powder, triturated for three hours with sugar of milk, in order to obtain the millionth potency, from which the dilutions are derived by means of alcohol. One or two pellets of the 30th potency are sufficient at a dose. The poisonous effects of this metal and its preparations, and the cruel and frequently fatal symptoms resulting from its application, have prevented physicians from using it internally. Voigtel, in his Materia Mcdica, mentions the following as some of the principal poisonous effects of copper: "Loathing, nausea, fits of anguish and vomiting even in a few minutes, troublesome burning in the mouth, unsuccessful retching, violent pains in the stomach a few hours after taking the metal, obstruction of the intestines, or too violent evacuations, even bloody diarrhoea, constant uneasiness, sleeplessness, exhaustion, weak and small pulse, cold sweat, paleness of the face, pains in the whole body, or in a few parts, pain in the thyroid cartilage, pain in the hypochondria, tingling sensation in the top of the head, palpitation of the heart, vertigo, painful constriction of the chest, cough with interrupted, almost suppressed respiration, extremely hurried breathing, haxmoptysis, hiccough, loss of consciousness, wandering look-also convulsions, rage, apoplexy, paralysis, death." Homceopathy alone is capable, by means of the peculiar mode of preparation to which it subjects remedial agents, and by means of its doctrine of the degree of potencies, to employ even the most violent substances for the benefit and restoration of the sick. Most of those violent symptoms of poisoning usually appear in groups, lasting half an hour or an hour, and recurring from time to time in the same form and combination, 190 CUPRUM--COPPER. such as: palpitation of the heart, vertigo, cough, haemoptysis, painful contraction of the chest, arrested breathingor-aching in the chest, lassitude, vacillation of sight, closing of the eyes, loss of consciousness, quick, moaning respiration, tossing about, cold feet, hiccough, a short and hacking cough which arrests the breathing, etc. The use of copper is therefore so much more homoeopathic as the symptoms appear at irregular intervals and in groups. Several kinds of partial or general clonic spasms, St. Vitus' dance, epilepsy, hoopingcough, cutaneous eruptions, old ulcers, and likewise spasmodic affections, accompanied with too fine and sensitive senses, appear to be the principal sphere of action for copper; it was likewise indispensable either to prevent or to cure Asiatic cholera. Antidotes are solutions of castile-soap and Hepar sulphuris, likewise the white of an egg which Orfila recommends so highly from experience. Violent dynamic effects of copper may be best relieved by frequently smelling of a solution of Camphor in alcohol; Bell., Chin., Cocc., Dulc., Hep. s., Ip., Merc., and Nux v., are likewise antidotes. Copper acts only a few days. The following psoric affections have been relieved by copper:Discouragement; headache consequent upon epileptic fits; pain in the head, as if the head were hollow; aching in the eyes; tearing, extending from the teeth as far as the temples; water-brash after partaking of milk; micturition during the night; obstruction of the nose; some kinds of hooping-cough; burning in the soles of the feet; sweaty feet; suppressed sweat of the feet; old ulcers; chronic weakness; nervous affections when the senses are too fine and sensitive; some kinds of epilepsy; jcrkings when asleep; chilliness consequent iupon epileptic fits. This drug has been proved by Drs. S. Hahnemann, Franz, Fr. Hahncmann, Herrmann and Riickert. According to Noack and Trinks, copper is most suitable to relaxed, irritable and nervous constitutions, with weakness and excessive sensitiveness of the nervous system, inclination to spasmodic affections, convulsions and typical diseases, especially when of a chronic nature, with 192 CUPRUM-COPPER. then again in a resisting mood., Chronic lassitude.

Sporadic cholera; Asiatic cholera; prophylactic against Asiatic cholera, according to Schuler; especially when convulsive movements and great restlessness with jumping out of the bed go together; when the disease is increased in the very beginning by drawing and tension of the muscles, slight convulsions, or afterwards more violent and continuous spasms, especially very painful spasms in the calves, (in this case, Montagk never employed Cuprum as a chief remedy, but merely as an intermediate remedy;) when the attack was characterized by muscular spasms or when these took the place of the vomiting (Rummel, in this case, sometimes employed it in alternation with Veratrum;) when there were convulsions of the fingers and toes; when there was an aching in the pit of the stomach, increased by contact; the beverage descending in the gullet with a gurgling noise; vomiting accompanied by hard pressure, preceded by a contractive sensation in the chest increased to an anxious tightness of the breathing, lastly, clonic spasms in the fingers and toes; in the second stage; in the third stage when there are clonic spasms which do not yield to secale, and continue even after the vomiting and diarrhoea had ceased. Lobethal asserts that Cuprum has only an inferior importance in the Asiatic cholera and is neither as important a prophylactic nor curative agent as is represented by many homceopathists; he thinks that Secale cornutum deserves the preference under similar circumstances; G. Schmid likewise thinks that Cuprum is not a very efficient agent in the treatment of Asiatic cholera. Slow, hectic fever?

Pulverise one grain of the purest black-lead taken from a fine English pencil, and prepare the triturations and dilutions in the usual fashion. One or two pellets of the 30th potency are sufficient at a dose. Pure Graphites is a sort of mineral carbo, with a slight admixture of iron which cannot be regarded as one of the necessary constituents of that mineral. This is evident now, since Davy has shown, by treating plumbago with potassium, that it is diamond transformed. Dr. Weinhold has been the first to recommend Graphites as a drug. When travelling in Italy, he saw workmen in the looking-glass manufactory of Venice, employing graphites externally for the purpose of removing herpetic eruptions. He published his own trials with Graphites for a similar purpose, in a little pamphlet entitled: Graphites as a Remedy against Herpes. (Sec. edition, Misnia, 1812.) He caused Graphites to be laid upon the skin, either by means of saliva, or lard; or to be rubbed in as an ointment, or he applied a plaster mixed with Graphites; at the cRAPHITES-BLACK LEAD. 255 same time he administered Graphites internally in 16 grain doses, one a day, either in the form of an electuary or of pills. He obtained success in several cases. We go a little farther and employ Graphites as an antipsoric, whether herpes be or be not one of the symptoms of the (non-venereal) disease.

Graphites is frequently indispensable and cannot be replaced by any other remedy in cases of chronic constipation when it begins to be troublesome, and when the menses have delayed several days beyond their proper period. Graphites can seldom be repeated with advantage, even after the use of intermediate remedies. Smelling of Arsenic Xo appears to be an antidote, especially against despairing grief caused by Graphites. A small dose of Nux likewise relieves several troublesome symptoms of Graphites. This drug has been proved by Drs. S. Hahnemann, Hartlaub, Rummel, Kretschmar, Ng. From Noack and Trnks: Graphites is especially suitable to scrofulous and venous individuals having a disposition to corpulency and obesity, blond hair, pale. complexion, fne, unhealthy (readily suppurating or ulcerated) skin, knobbyfinger-nails, inclination to sweat; individuals with a disposition to chronic eruptions, and worm-affections, catarrh, hcemorrhoidal or menstrual congestions of blood to the upper parts.
